Mary’s horrendous and shameful fate without George Bailey.
George:Clarence, where’s Mary?
Clarence:“She’s just about to close up the library!!!”
Watching this scene as an adult and laughing my ass off every time has become one of my favorite holiday traditions.
Honestly imagine being Mary and just trying to leave work after a long day, when this weird shit happens.
And of course your wife being an old maid is a FAR worse fate then your brother dying when he was 9. Why wouldn’t it be?
